No cave, just a small shrimping village surrounded by 20+ miles of National Forest and National Wildlife Refuges.  It's, going to be many more years, if not decades before high speed internet (we don't even have DSL) reaches us.  Unless 5G issues are fixed in the shorter term.

 

I don't worry about it at all.  BUT, I do take precautions.

 

My data was stolen in the massive DoD OPM breach a few of years ago.  DoD stepped up and provides identity monitoring for the millions of us whose data was compromised.

 

Monitoring your identity records on a regular basis is the first step.  And really all any of us can do at this time.  Sort of like closing the barn door after all the animals have high tailed it.

Make sure you're not broadcasting your SSID.  Disabling the SSID broadcast should be done when you change the password.  Even though someone with a $20 gadget can see it.  But most folks with their smartphone or computer will not see it let alone even care.

Are you living at one of the picnic table pullouts in Four Hole Swamp?   :P

I have a neighbor who recently retired from the FBI.

His specialty was tracking people through Social Media and electronic devices.

 

He told me his job has never been easier...

I feel like everything we buy have this code where we can easily be hacked.
